By managing these orders from a consolidated location, you can streamline your operations and improve efficiency.

    Zurich

    Organize your assets into hierarchical asset groups to manage your complex asset ecosystems
    Organize assets into logical groups and subgroups to represent their dependencies and operational relationships. Use a dependency map to visualize the entire structure of the asset hierarchy, making it easy to see all the subgroups and assets within each asset group.
    Inspect the condition of enterprise assets to determine their health and ensure reliability
    Define condition attributes for enterprise models and assets and associate these attributes with templates to identify any potential issues throughout the asset life cycle. Enable scoring in the templates to calculate asset condition scores to determine whether an asset passes or fails the evaluation. Schedule asset condition evaluations via maintenance plans or work orders. View comprehensive reports on the asset condition outcomes on dashboards across your organization.
    Optimize your operations with asset performance reports
    Track the past performance of assets and get notified about trends, threshold breaches, or anomalies based on their location, model category, model, or classification. This tracking helps improve asset availability according to ISO standards.
    Monitor supply and demand of assets in a stockroom with detailed inventory reports
    Track and manage stockrooms efficiently by evaluating the inventory reports in the Inventory view of the Enterprise Asset Workspace. These reports help you:
    • Find replacement options or spare part availability for assets that are in use, being repaired, or in maintenance
    • Quickly identify shortages and align current demand in your stockroom with both current and incoming supply
    • Analyze the supply to meet open demand across all stockrooms or locations
    Achieve faster diagnostics and enhanced maintenance efficiency with standardized failure and resolution codes
    Enable technicians to record predefined failure reasons and resolution steps with configurable codes. You can create, update, and import these codes through spreadsheets in the Admin center of the Enterprise Asset Workspace. In the Repair flow, these codes help technicians record the reason for the specific issue with the asset and the appropriate solution for repairing it.
    Manage OT hardware models and assets in the OT Asset Workspace
    Enable OT asset managers to view and fulfill requests for OT hardware assets in the OT Asset Workspace. The reports and dashboards in the OT Asset workspace include OT hardware models, assets, and requests. The following OT Asset Management workflows and features now provide support for OT hardware assets and models, in addition to the workflows and features that continue to support them from the Yokohama release:
    • Bulk import
    • Asset reclamation
    • Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN)
    • Asset audits
    • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
    • Lease contract
    • Risk
    • Resale
    • Loaner
    • Move
    • Recall
    • Stock rule
    Remediate unsuccessful enterprise asset calibrations
    Remediate failed calibration events by initiating new work orders and corresponding work order tasks for those events. When you select the option to remediate a failed calibration event, you can choose an appropriate work order template to generate a new work order with at least one work order task. The work order and work order task are auto-populated with the asset that you want to calibrate, the location of that asset, the original work order, and all mandatory fields. In addition, the original and new calibration events and their corresponding tasks are linked together through the Parent field for full traceability.
    Measure calibration tolerance conformance by using additional value types
    Use the following additional value types to compare your calibration measurements against the corresponding tolerances that you define:
    • Range
    • Less than
    • Greater than
    In addition, use the True/False value type to assess the qualitative elements of your calibrations.
    Manage unique identifiers for enterprise assets using CI identification rules
    Define required and unique fields on asset records by creating identification rules on associated CI classes in the Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE). When you create an asset whose model category is linked to a CI class with an identification rule, you should provide details for at least one of the fields, such as Asset tag, Serial number, and MAC address, that uniquely identify the asset.
    Drop off and receive assets at a stockroom by using the ServiceNow Mobile Agent application
    Return the assets that you have in your personal stockroom to a different stockroom by creating a Drop off task using the ServiceNow® Mobile Agent application. The asset manager of the destination stockroom receives the assets that you dropped off through a Receive task. The asset manager then verifies the received assets and closes the Drop off task using the Mobile Agent application.
    Note:
    Starting with the Xanadu release, you could create Drop off and Receive tasks in the Enterprise Asset Workspace. However, now you can also use the Mobile Agent application for the same purpose.
    Receive shipment assets at a stockroom through the streamlined and unified receiving process
    Receive assets from any workflow directly at the stockroom using the unified receiving functionality in the following workspaces:
    • Enterprise Asset Workspace
    • OT Asset Workspace
    • Medical Asset Workspace
    • Facility Asset Workspace

    This standardized receiving process reduces the time spent on receiving assets. By requiring each asset to be assigned a unique identifier when received at the stockroom, the quality of asset data also improves.

    You can receive assets in bulk by using a template. Additionally, you can view the results and validation comments in the staging table. During this process, the system handles existing assets, creates new ones as needed, and performs comprehensive validations.

    Track asset movement from the receiving bay to an aisle-space in the stockroom
    Move assets from the receiving bay to their designated aisle and space and improve asset tracking and inventory management by using the Asset put away feature. This task can be performed via the Enterprise Asset Workspace or ServiceNow Agent application.
